Pelosi’s Scaremongering Over Reciprocity Exposes Her Ignorance – or Willingness to Lie – About Gun Laws and Owners

Democrat Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi is known for her ability to exaggerate or even flat out lie in order to scare people away from whatever Republicans are doing — she recently called the Republican tax bill “apocalyptic” — but this latest attempt to frighten Americans takes the cake.

Angry over the house’s passage of Concealed Carry Reciprocity, Nancy Pelosi took to Twitter and voiced raged like a rat in a cage against Republicans, saying they invited domestic abusers, and criminals to safely harm others.

According to California law, any person convicted of a felony or certain misdemeanors, is prohibited from buying or carrying a firearm. This also includes anyone with a restraining order against them:

“Any person who is subject to a temporary restraining order or an injunction issued pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure sections 527.6 or 527.8, a protective order as defined in Family Code section 6218, a protective order issued pursuant to Penal Code sections 136.2 or 646.91, or a protective order issued pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 15657.03.”

Again, either Pelosi doesn’t know the firearm laws in her own state, or the federal government, or she does know them and is purposely lying in order to scare Americans into resisting the expansion of their own rights.

Furthermore, Pelosi is mischaracterizing legal conceal carry owners so blatantly that if I was a Democrat, I’d be distancing myself from her comments in the politest way possible.
